Parking Brake and
Brake System Indicator
This indicator has two functions:
1. It comes on when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). It is a
reminder to check the parking
brake. Driving with the parking
brake not fully released can
damage the rear brakes, axles and
tyres.
If you drive without releasing the
parking brake, a chime will sound,
and you will also see the symbol
'' '' or the symbol with a
''RELEASE PARKING BRAKE''
message on the multi-information
display.
2. If it stays on after you have fully
released the parking brake while
the engine is running, or if it
comes on while driving, it can
indicate a problem with the brake
system. Also, you will see the
symbol '' '' or the symbol
with a ''BRAKE FLUID LOW''
message, or the symbol ''
(on some types) or the symbol
with a ''CHECK SYSTEM''
message (on some types) on the
multi-information display. For
